About

I want my home to be your animals home away from home. My furclients become family and when you bring them I want you leaving knowing they are In Good Paws. I am professional yet personable, organized but allow for flexibility. I have a certification in pet CPRand first aid with certifications soon to follow for Pet Aromatherapy/Massage,training,grooming and I am also insured. I come highly recommended with excellent reviews.

When I started in this, it was only going to be part time until I finished my certifications for aromatherapy and massage for people, but after only a few furclients I fell in love and am hooked and geared my certifications towards pets. I have two toy poodles Dixie and Waylon and two girls Brooklyn(4) and Genesis(9) that provide warm welcomes to furclients as well. I can't imagine not doing this and don't know why I didnt start this earlier in life. For me it's become more of a passion than a job.

    I highly recommend Melissa at purring paws and wagging tails. She kept me informed and took such good care of my furr baby. She keeps such a clean friendly and loving environment for all pets. She treats them all as her own. She will always be my go to when I need someone to watch my pup when I go out of town.

    Melissa is great and definately hands on. I felt at ease leaving my 9 month yorkie in her care after talking and meeting with her. She has welcoming personality that lets you know your furbabies are in good hands. She kept me updated with lots of pictures and texts. I will definately use her services again.

    Frequently asked questions

    My typical process for working with a new customer is to reassure them that their pets are in good hands and I do that  by asking customer questions on the routine of their pets. Their routine if they have one is important to me because I want to provide their pets a home away from home. These are not just animals to my clients or to me but family. 

    I am certified in Pet CPR and First Aid. Currently taking classes in certifications for Pet Aromatherapy/Massage, Pet Grooming and Training.

    I got started in this business by wanting to make a little extra money with a flexible schedule but ended up loving and wanting to do it full time. Educate so I can expand my business.

    Most of my pet clientele are dogs, but I am opened to having cats.

    My first client when I started pet sitting was a chihuahua named Millie. Her pet mom was in hospital so for the first two weeks i did drop in visits with her and eventually ended up boarding her at my house another two weeks. We had such a great time and I had grown so attached to her and apparently she had as well that the pet parent reached out to me to do drop in visit with Millie once a week to play and spend time with her because she felt Millie had gotten attached and was missing me. 

    1. Ask lots of questions and don't let any question you ask go unanswered.

    2. Remember no question is dumb when it comes to the care of your pet.

    3.Find someone that enjoys what they do, they may tell you all the creditials they have or you may have read it on their profile but having passion about this line of work is not something that can be taught.
